Families and Individuals in Societal Contexts – An understanding of families and their relationships to other institutions, such as the educational, governmental, religious, healthcare, and occupational institutions in society. (ncfr.org)
Families and Individuals in Societal Contexts is how society is impacted by and impacts families. Society includes the culture and time in which you are living. Parts of society can be a choice as in those that you choose to have around you, to make up your society. However, the greatest part of society is where you live and the social norms and attitudes that are appropriate for that area. These social burdens greatly impact the family and how they live and interact.
